Modern World-system

They buried him under a blood-red moon. Chains of silver and blessed iron pinned his broken body to the earth, sealing his power, erasing his name. To the pack, he was a failed Alpha. To the coven, a cursed vampire. To the world, he was a mistake that deserved to die. But monsters don’t stay dead. When Alpha opened his eyes again, he wasn’t in the grave—he was in the body of his weakest self. Eighteen years old. Rankless. Powerless. His wolf silent. His vampire blood thin and starving. The memories of his execution burned behind his eyes like fresh wounds. Reborn. A second life… and a second chance at vengeance. This time, he felt it—the system etched into his soul, ancient and cruel. [Hybrid Core Detected] Bloodline: Vampire / Werewolf / Unknown Status: Severely Suppressed Level: 1

After the Ritualist declared that Amber would not live past 18, I, a perfectly healthy girl, became the Misfortune Vessel. When Amber broke a leg, my left leg was crippled. When Amber tried to kill herself with shards of glass, the tendons in my hand were severed. I could no longer hold a pen. From childhood to the present, every wound meant for Amber landed on my body. She never stopped testing how far she could go. Skydiving from two miles up. Chasing sharks in deep water. Survival expeditions to the extreme North. Every choice courted death. I cried. I screamed that it hurt. My brothers refused to allow it. "Enough already. It's just a small injury. How could it hurt that much? You're too delicate." "If it hurts, then endure it." So I endured until the day I turned 18. That was when the Shared-Sense System found me. I enabled family sharing, and every single one of them went insane.

Der Adler Ich sehe sie aus der Dusche kommen, die Wassertropfen auf ihrem Körper, ich würde gerne ihren Platz einnehmen. Ich gebe ihr einen Slip und ein Oberteil, das ihre Brüste gut umschmeichelt. · Zieh dich an. Sie dreht mir den Rücken zu, um sich anzuziehen. · Die erste Regel: Schäme dich niemals vor mir. · Die zweite Regel: Zieh dich immer vor mir an und ohne mir den Rücken zuzudrehen. Also schau mich an und nimm das Handtuch ab, um dich anzuziehen. Sie stellt sich mir gegenüber und löst ihr Handtuch. Ich betrachte diesen nackten Körper vor mir: ihre enormen, wohlgeformten Brüste, die mir entgegenstreben, ihr Hintern, den ich hinter ihr erahnen kann. Sie versucht, schnell ihren Slip anzuziehen. · Stopp! Sie hält inne und sieht mich mit einer stummen Frage an. · Dreh dich um, damit ich deinen Körper bewundern kann. Sie dreht sich um, und ich genieße diese prächtige Göttin vor mir. · Du bist wunderschön, Querida. Sie antwortet nicht. · Komm näher, ich helfe dir beim Anziehen.

For ten years, Seraphina Frostbane was a ghost in her own marriage and the invisible wife to London’s coldest billionaire, Kieran Blackthorne. She was his duty, his mistake, the woman who bore his heir but never his heart. When her father dies and her glamorous sister—the woman Kieran was meant to marry—returns to reclaim everything Seraphina accidentally took, he ends their marriage without hesitation. Broken but unbowed, Seraphina signs the divorce papers, takes her son, and disappears. But fate isn’t done with her yet. At her father’s funeral, an ambush meant to silence her nearly succeeds until she’s saved by Lucian Reed, a mysterious man with a spiral tattoo and eyes that promise danger. Under his brutal mentorship, Seraphina sheds her fragile shell and rises from the ashes as a woman who can bend the city’s elite to her will. But the stronger she grows, the more unhinged Kieran becomes. Realizing too late that his indifference masked a possessive obsession, he launches a ruthless war to drag her back into his empire and his bed. Now, caught between a new love that empowers her, an ex-husband who would burn the world to keep her, and a secret pregnancy that could destroy them all, Seraphina must decide: Will she rule her own destiny… or be devoured by the darkness that once claimed her?

Fünf Jahre Ehe. Fünf Jahre, in denen Élodie alles für Raphaël aufgab – selbst ihre kühnsten beruflichen Träume blieben auf der Strecke. Fünf Jahre, in denen sie auf einen Funken Zuneigung wartete. Doch Raphaël war nie da. Nicht an ihren Jahrestagen. Nicht, wenn er es versprochen hatte. Selbst an ihrem dreißigsten Geburtstag blieb sein Platz leer. Er sei „verhindert“, hieß es kühl. Doch ausgerechnet an diesem Tag stand Raphaël am Flughafen. Er wartete – allerdings auf die einzige Frau, die in seinem Leben jemals eine Rolle gespielt hatte. Für Élodie reichte es nur für ein liebloses Geschenk: eine Handtasche, hastig in irgendeiner Boutique besorgt. Als Élodies Vater schwer erkrankte, kannte Raphaël kein Erbarmen. Statt ihr beizustehen, zwang er sie, einen Klienten zu hofieren. Ein Geschäftsabschluss war ihm wichtiger als ihr Schmerz. In diesem Moment zerbrach etwas in Élodie. Endgültig. Sie zog den Schlussstrich. Die Scheidung. Zwei Jahre vergingen. Élodie hatte sich neu erfunden und war nun eine gefeierte Expertin auf dem internationalen Parkett. Doch dann tauchte Raphaël wieder auf. Er packte sie hart am Handgelenk. „Scheidung?“, hallte sein hämisches Lachen durch den Raum. „Schlag dir das aus dem Kopf.“ „Solange meine Unterschrift nicht darunter steht…“ „…bleibst du meine Frau. Bis dass der Tod uns scheidet.“

„Sie gehört jetzt mir! Sie ist mein – ob sie es will oder nicht!“ „Bitte… lassen Sie sie gehen. Sie ist eine Waise. Haben Sie Erbarmen mit ihr…“ Ariane ist eine junge, furchtlose Frau, die vor nichts zurückschreckt. Doch als ihr Blick dem des Mafioso Auracio Ferrari begegnet, gerät ihre Welt ins Wanken. Er – gefürchtet von allen – ist ausgerechnet von ihrer Kühnheit aus dem Gleichgewicht gebracht. Wer ist diese Frau? Warum hat sie keine Angst vor ihm? Und noch erstaunlicher: Sie ist nicht seinem Charme erlegen. Zum ersten Mal widersteht ihm eine Frau. Er will sie. Koste es, was es wolle. Sie wird ihm gehören. Ganz gleich, welchen Preis er zahlen muss, wie lange es dauert sie wird sein sein. Ihm allein. Und er wird jeden töten, der es wagt, sich für sie zu interessieren.

I fail my mission and jump off a building to restart the game. Then, I become a billionaire and am rewarded with a handsome young man as soon as the game starts!

I was the greediest stand-in in high society, and my motto was simple. As long as cash kept coming, my dignity could take a back seat. For Frederick Jameson, I played the role of his obedient pet, so when his true love accused me of stealing her necklace, I just bowed and apologized. With Samuel York, I served as his lab rat, testing drugs meant for his sweetheart's condition until they left me with a bleeding ulcer. And for Theodore Xander, I acted as a scapegoat, getting pushed out to take the blame of extortion for his crush. They all assumed I was hopelessly in love with them, even forcing me to sign a confession at their joint engagement party. That was when the system's voice chimed in, "Host, the portal home is now open." I wiped the blood from my lips, splashed my wine into their faces, and grinned brightly. "Game over, losers!" Right in front of everyone, I leaped straight into the sea. Later, word spread that the three big shots scoured the entire ocean just to find my body.

After completing the quest, I insisted on staying in that world, foregoing the lucrative rewards. It was because I had a happy and perfect family there. My brother was a genius world-renowned scientist, and all his research achievements were named after me. My father was the world's richest man, and all his wealth was under my name. My mother was an extraordinarily talented dancer, but she gave up the stage just to spend more time with me. My family pampered me. I was the most envied pampered daughter in the world… until the day their real daughter, Carrie Langford, showed up at our door. Their love for me vanished overnight. From then on, I became inconsequential. Carrie orchestrated her own fall down the stairs, and my mother was so angry that she broke my leg. I ate a small bite of the cake Carrie threw away, so my father locked me in a dog cage for three days to dine with the dogs. He also made a golden cake for Carrie to make her feel better. Just because Carrie complained that her heart hurt, my brother dug out my heart for her and replaced it with an artificial heart. "It's just a heart. You've always been healthy. Carrie needs it more than you do." Calmly, my brother stood to the side, analyzing the data. "Don't worry, artificial heart technology is already very advanced, so the theoretical survival rate is very high. You won't die." After my soul left my body, I saw Carrie casually throw my heart into a trash can. The long-dormant system was awakened. [Would you like to take back everything you've given them, including your father's wealth, your mother's dancing talent, and your brother's intelligence, in exchange for a chance to revive?]
